F.W. Cobs Company Inc.

Shaun Brooks founded F. W. Cobs Company in 2006, after graduating from The University of Arizona with a degree in Animal Science. Shaun was raised in an agriculture setting both with his father’s feed mill and family dairy farm. Shaun’s father, John Brooks, helped Shaun build F. W. Cobs with his strong knowledge, having over 40 years in the grain business - founding Brooks Feeds Inc. in Swanton, VT, now owned by Poulin Grain, and also managing feed mill business for ADM and Renaissance Nutrition.

F. W. Cobs first started in the Northeast, but quickly grew to having a large North American presence, utilizing four strategically located grain elevators throughout the US and Canada. F. W.

Cobs is committed to supplying the best possible Organic, Non-GMO and Conventional Grains that help feed the world through building strong relationships with industry leading growers, thus ensuring premium quality products for it's customers.

Fair Hill Farms, Inc.

Fair Hill is a fourth generation dairy and certified organic grain farm located near picturesque Chestertown on Maryland's eastern shore. We sell certified organic field crops and hay.
Ed Fry, whose farm is on Rte 213 just north of Chestertown, has been farming for 30 years. Certified organic since 1999 for 400 acres of corn, alfalfa and pasture, he’s been very happy with the results so far.

“ In 1999 and 2000 my organic corn actually out yielded my conventionally grown corn. 1999 was a very dry year, and with the organic corn we saw that it looked full a lot longer, because the organic nitrogen was being released at a much more desirable rate than on the conventionally grown corn,” he says.

In 2000 Fry’s organic corn yield was 181 bushels, versus 177 bushels conventionally grown. Production costs were lower on the organic corn, though the labor per acre is higher, which means that he doesn’t have to farm but we as many acres for the same amount of profit.

“Last year, to produce a bushel of conventional corn was approximately $2.23,” he says. “The cost to produce a bushel of organic corn was $1.79. We got $2.25 a bushel for the conventional and a premium price of $4.00 for the organic.”
